Southampton centre-back Maya Yoshida and captain Steven Davis have called out their teammates to improve their PL results.

After just 2 wins in their first 8 games, Southampton and their manager Mauricio Pellegrino are under pressure with much tougher waters to be negotiated after a run of straightforward fixtures after the international break. Yoshida, who netted a scrappy goal in the 2-1 defeat to Stoke last weekend said post match that "a goal is a goal but the most important thing is the three points today. But we couldn’t get them and we couldn’t play well. Perhaps we couldn’t get the points but we didn’t show our qualities either. That’s my frustration." After dominating possession and shots statistics, the Sainst failed to make their control translate to goals or even shots on target - an familiar issue. "We had a lot of possession but we didn’t make the most of it," said Davis. "It’s another frustrating one and we’re disappointed not to come away with anything" Mon, Oct 2, 2017 11:25:00 AM

Southampton got an early goal from Steven Davis and took advantage of a Crystal Palace side in disarray as the Saints pick up three points on the road in a 0-1 final.

The Saints have been struggling with their attack so far this season and the proof of it is that Davis is now the club's top scorer in the FPL format among midfielders and forwards. He celebrated his 200th appearance with Southampton by scoring the game's lone goal early on in the sixth minute. Dusan Tadic was able to slip through on the right flank and get a ball on target. Palace's keeper could only palm away into the path of Davis who tapped it in. The Saints cruised through the first half, mainly duew to a steady influence in midfield by Mario Lemina. Palace began to threaten in the second half, but Fraser Forster was not tested too much. Another storyline of note, Virgil van Dijk was named to the squad and got a cameo in the closing minutes as he looks to work his way back into a starting role. Sat, Sep 16, 2017 09:43:00 AM

Lemina will become new boss Mauricio Pellegrino's second signing after acquiring Jan Bednarek from Lech Poznan earlier in the transfer window. He is expected to arrive at St. Mary's within 48 hours to complete his medical. Southampton have fended off competition from Watford, Leicester, and Stoke to secure the signature of the Gabonese international and are expected to pay £18 million for the midfielder. Lemina was not part of the Juve squad which visited Wembley to play Spurs on Saturday. He is a defensively minded midfielder who will threaten the place of Steven Davis in the Saints' starting XI. His arrival is a further blow for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who has failed to displace the Northern Irishman since arriving from Bayern in 2016. Mon, Aug 7, 2017 12:02:00 AM

Southampton joint-captain Steven Davis is available for selection to face Man City on Saturday.

The Northern Ireland international missed the Saints' win over West Brom last weekend after picking up an injury late on in the win against Crystal Palace three days earlier. In his pre-match press conference on Thursday, Puel said: "For Davo he will be available for the team again." Fri, Apr 14, 2017 11:55:00 AM
